Waiting for this mini-split heat pump to arrive

10. Here is what I did and what I let the installer do

I put the electric box on the out side wall, I put the bracket for the inside unit to hang on and I also put the piping and electric for the inside unit, plus the drain hose through the wall. I let the installer hang the inside unit and connect the piping and drain hose and connect the electric cable between the two pieces.

It is a pretty simple install that you can do yourself except for pulling the vacuum to dry the lines. If you have a vacuum pump and gauges I suspect you can do that too. After the install the installer turned it on cool and set the thermostat at 62, I had the windows open as I forgot to shut down the pellet stove before they got here and it was nice and warm in here and knowing that most people don't care to work in a hot place I opened the house up for them. it got to 70 degrees outside today. Anyway it brought the house down to 66 degrees with the windows open in about 20 minutes then we closed the windows, outside by then it had dropped to 65 degrees and then set the unit to auto and let it warm the house back up. Set the thermostat at 72 and in about 20 maybe 30 minutes it had the house back up to 73 and holding it there. How quiet it is is the first thing we noticed.
Its going to take a bit to get how it operates down. Right now we just set it to auto and 72 and will let the unit take care of the rest.
